LUBRICATING COMPOUND.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. [1,359, dated July 23, 1954.

ing and using the same.

This lubricating compound consists in the mixture of a fixed or vegetable oil-such 'as linseed-oil, olive, or other vegetable oilwith the crude article known in commerce as rosinoil and gum ot' camphor, which may be mixed in various proportions. I have, however, found the following proportions of the ingredients to answer very well in the manufacture of the inbricating componnd,vin: to make one gallon of my compound I takenine-sixteenths part ofraw linseed-oil, seven-sixteenths of rosin-oil, and twelve peunyweights ot' gum-camphor, which ingredients, when well mixed, do then form a lubricating compound and tit for immediate use.

Some of the ingredients used in above-described compound may be replaced by others possessingsimilar properties-as, for instance,

instead of raw linseed-oil another vegetable oil might be used, such as rape-seed and other fixed oilsand so with the otheringredieuts,so that the compound would not be essentially changed in it character by substitutions or replacements. I do therefore notintend to limit myself to the precise ingredients above enumerated, but contemplate varying both the articles themselves and the proportions in which they are combined as economy in their cost or adaptation to particular purposes or other circumstances may render expedient.

Having thus described the mannerin which I manufacture my lubricating compound,what Iclaim therein as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- Theeombination of nine-sixteenths of a gallon of raw linseed-oil seven-sixteeuths ot' a gallon of rosin-oil, and twelve pennyweights ot' gunrcamphor for a lubrlcator.

In testimony whereot'l have hereunto set my hand and seal this 20th dayof June, A.D.
